Yeah. I've had the guys at SOR swear me out over the phone. After spending $15,000. Because i needed help with the door handles they sold me. Matt is more mad scientist, scattered but vintageteq brilliant. May not sit well with the "ship it...

I would return for a full refund. It's a mix of years and when you, or your mechanic, need parts that's going to be an issue. If in a few years your infatuation with it wears off and you try to sell it you'll likely loose money. Get the refund...

Yeah same in pa, no title number, no registration.

gotta love those first fish

Emma my younger daughter (about to turn 8) decided she wanted to go fishing and catch her first fish this summer. Made that happen this weekend. Tried Saturday on way back from horse riding lessons, had wrong bait and too big of hooks for the...

No, block off that bottom opening, get city racers intake hose, be happy

After way too long of a hiatus, it's time to start thing about what needs to happen here. Its been sitting years now. Going to need brakes and figure why it had been running warm, and slightly mixing it's oil and water. The entire cooling system...

Going to start gathering parts for this guy. Gave it a wash this afternoon. But need to get brakes on the 94.....never have i had more of a problem with rusty brake lines than on 80 series....Friday made the 6th time I drove one home with a...

Here is my 1 minute explanation I just did for you. I did have to take one side of my outer latches apart as one of mine were stuck and I could not easily open it. Once I did that it was all good. Let me know if you need any other info or have...

With it being a mutt, the branded title is almost a nonissue, as anyone looking for a clean 78 is likely to pass it over for not looking like a 78.

Still around, just not on mud any longer.

it was nice meeting you this morning to chat cruisers for a minute or two.

With the Sr, probably 4inches in springs and another inch in the shackles....so something around 5inches

for the wire, i use .065 stainless tig filler. i didnt bag the foam, and had no issues. about 10 years later, everything is all good....and the drivers seat has some miles on it.

Ditch the flex fan and put a proper fan clutch and plastic blade (more and better airflow) back on it. All parts we can easily assist with at Cruiser Outfitters. I may have missed it, is the pump new?

that boot is actually in surprisingly good condition.

Got at least one boot 👍. I think @andybudge has repos IIRC.

Debrowning these guys.

I see threads in the 40 section every few months about people trying to reach him....he's hard to get a hold of.

Have an fsm handy?

So if it was at that line....it was hot. Hot enough to call it an overheat.

I’ve been out of the net, chased by the dragon, AKA the “Honey Do List”. I wanted to point out one of the add on features from the guys at Alexander Restorations - @Atram. Weatherstrip added to the front side bow sub assembly. This adds a...

Love the old bezel with ‘Land Cruiser’. Wish I could find one for my 1964. Mine is chrome though…so still cool in its own right.

Just waiting for a few small pieces.

I’m going to start the restoration on my 1958 FJ25 this spring and decided to start a thread for it today. I was not sure what to name it so I decided to use it’s original color. Sundune? Below are photos of parts I have acquired for the project...
